Noisebox opened in early 1992 in the old Fishmarket, on Mountergate. Over the next few years it built from one rehearsal room (with a very basic 6-track portastudio for recording demos) to having three rooms, duplication facilities, gig promotions, equipment hire and a record label. In 1997, Noisebox moved to the former Avery Scales building on King Street (next to The Waterfront). With four rehearsal rooms, teaching spaces and offices it was a major expansion and was based on hosting the Access To Music courses.
